Airgun Pellet, slug or Bullet Molds?

You need to run the mold very hot to get the skirts to fill out properly.... The best results are using a ladle with a nose on it and pressure pouring....

Will your cast pellets group less than 1” for five consecutive groups at 50 yards? Without visual inspection or weight sorting. That is the level of performance with commercial pellets.

I would bet that if Bob is doing it, they meet or more likely exceed store bought pellets.

That is about their performance.... I visually inspect every pellet or bullet I cast and throw the culls back in the pot, I never size pellets (but I do with bullets, if required).... Sometimes I weigh either at the beginning, culling out any that are significantly lighter as they must have voids, at least until I understand how the mould is working.... If I get a lot of weight difference it is because my casting technique needs work.... In other words, I go through a quality control stage, just like commercial manufacturers would....

The last time I was shooting at 100 yards my cast .30 cal and .35 cal pellets outshot the JSBs, and had a significantly higher BC to boot....
